Nest warmth for wild animals: Crochet and donate 3,500 nests!

Triester Straße 8, 2331 Vösendorf, Österreich - In the past few weeks, the "Nest warmth - Hoche or Donation" campaign from Tierschutz Austria has beaten impressive waves. Over 1,000 committed animal lovers together have made 3,500 lovingly crocheted nest for injured and orphaned wild animals. Martin Aschauer, spokesman for animal protection Austria, explained that the willingness to help was overwhelming by the population. "Each of these nests is a sign of hope," he emphasized, while the first squirrel babies have already found their new nests. The challenge ends after the massive mobilization success, but the focus is now on the second pillar of the action: the donation collection.

The need for financial support remains, since up to 3,000 wild animals in the Vösendorf animal protection house have to be treated annually. This includes not only squirrels, but also hedgehogs, songbirds and rabbits that are medically treated and lovingly raised in order to later relieve them into nature. Stephan Scheidl, animal welfare manager of Tierschutz Austria, emphasizes that a donation of 35 euros enables the supply of a wild animal. This fundraising campaign could not only offer the animals a nest, but a secure future.

The viral action has reached and inspired more than a million people. With creative articles on social media, participants have drawn attention to the challenge. The hashtag #nest heat donation remains active in order to continue to collect support for the weakest animals in domestic nature. "We ask everyone, even after the creative part of the campaign," demands Tierschutz Austria, making sure that the nests are now sufficiently present, but the need for support remains essential.
